This is a bit of a side comment because I do believe what Ferguson has said is a bit retarded but people take our ex-players opinions way too seriously.
I always try and imagine how much our fan base would get ripped if some of their opinions got given the same reach as the pundits.
Seems it's okay to say negative things about your own club online and to your pals, but when an ex-player says it in the media they get slaughtered.

Any scenario where we win the league this season would have us winning our next 4 games. Never going to happen.
Even if we somehow miraculously take max points from the next 4. They'd only need 4 points from their other 3 games to win it.

Fuck sake man. He's not wrong. Why does everyone get oversensitive when one of our ex-players/managers says anything remotely negative in the media?
Imagine sticking a camera in front of some of the posters on here for a hot-take when we drop points.
